* GPRS on FreeRunner is unstable? Too many connections hang the modem? Unfixable? NO MORE! Our magician [[User:Lindi|lindi]] has conjured a [http://docs.openmoko.org/trac/ticket/2264#comment:21 tc (traffic control) command] (use the lower one for faster operation) that makes the data flow more stable even under heavy load. Huge thanks!

Debian is a universal operating system used on many embedded devices, servers and home computers. Using Debian on the FreeRunner gives access to the huge army of software packaged in the Debian repositories, already compiled for the Neo's ARM(v4) processor. Moreover, one can build one's own source files for programs without having to learn the OpenEmbedded way. For an existing Debian/Ubuntu user, choosing Debian for Neo FreeRunner makes phone a very familiar, trustworthy and flexible place to hack in.

A gameboy emulator which runs very nice, even with sound (sometimes it freezes, then you have to press the A button and everything is ok). You need the gamerunner distro or a gamepad to use it.
Using frameskip to run smooth at 320*240 pixel.
In second controll mode in gamerunner you can use savestates by pressing top right corne to save and left lower corner to load. Select is right lower corner.
